Abstract(s)

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne arbovirus spread worldwide, with an enzootic cycle among ornithophilic mosquitoes and birds. Rising temperatures, droughts and water shortage, and the increased movement of people and goods around the world, have facilitated and increased the risk of transmission of this virus in European countries. Seroepidemiological surveys of WNV are useful to understand the real spread of the virus in wild populations and prevent contagion to humans.
